Hydrodynamics in Some Arctic Lakes

Two hypotheses concerning wind-driven current systems in Alaska's oriented lakes are discussed. The first describes end-currents in the lakes returning upwind due to a hydrostatic pressure gradient on the downwind side. The second describes end-currents flowing in a windward direction and being...
